Pineapple Tomato

Pineapple Tomato

$3.25 $0.00
    Open pollinated.  Heirloom.
    • 95 days from transplant. Indeterminate.
    • Large, irregular yellow tomatoes are suffused with red streaks that radiate from a red interior.
    • The flavor of Pineapple Tomato is rich and fruity. 
    • After having grown this variety for eight years, we put it in the catalog with some concern because it is very late. We now offer it because some good things are worth waiting for.

    Planting Directions:  Plant seed indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting in  spring.  Sow seed 1/2” deep in sterile starting soil,  maintaining a soil temperature of 65° to  95°. Germinates in 6-10 days if soil is kept at 85°.  When seedlings are 10 days old replant (if using seedling trays) into 2” or 4” pots. Transplant outdoors when soil temperatures are at least 70° in well drained soil enriched with organic matter or a general purpose fertilizer. Space plants 2’ to 3’ apart. Avoid high levels of nitrogen in the soil as this promotes vegetative growth and reduces yields. Water regularly during growing season and  reduce or withhold water when tomatoes begin to ripen.
